Not to discourage you, but it seems pretty complicated to take
over the role of the GIMP in communicating with plug-ins, largely
because of the need to handle tiles. If you just need to
deal with tiff's, I might suggest looking at libtiff as a simpler
way of doing this. On the other hand, if you want greater
flexibility, you could consider making your program a GIMP plug-in
itself - then you could make PDB calls to handle loading and saving.
